About Groupon

Groupon is an American e-commerce marketplace connecting customers with merchants. The company launched in 2008 and it has since grown to become a global online marketplace. Groupon began its operations in Australia in 2011 and it has grown its customer base into over 3 million subscribers. The marketplace is mainly focused on providing holiday, food and drink, and beauty-related experiences, but it has expanded its operations to travel and other merchandise. It’s focused on providing localised offers to its customers, ensuring you only receive offers you might actually want to use.

Customer Support

Groupon’s customer support will help ensure your experience on the platform is a good one, whether you are looking to sell your services or you are just looking for a bargain. The FAQ section has extensive tips on areas such as buying, delivery policies and solutions to technical issues. You can also use their Help Wizard service if you’ve encountered an issue such as problems making a purchase or using a promotional code.

Customisation

Groupon immediately customises the offers based on your location. So when you enter the website, you should sign up and tell the platform where you are shopping. You can naturally change the location if you are off to another part of Australia.

Mobile App

One of the best things about the Groupon marketplace is that you can access it everywhere with the help of their mobile app. The app is available on iPhones, iPads, Android and Blackberry devices and you can download it from the corresponding online shops. The app allows you to browse the website, make purchases and even use the codes at your chosen shop or event without printing out the coupon. Furthermore, you can even change the country, making it easy to save money when you’re travelling.

Delivery Policy

Most products on the Groupon platform will include an electronic delivery of the voucher code. Therefore, there aren’t any additional delivery costs associated with the purchase. If you are ordering something from the Goods section, the delivery fee is generally also included in the deal. If it’s not, you’ll be notified about the cost of delivery.

The delivery of coupons and codes is often immediate, but the goods might take longer to deliver. The delivery time is always announced before purchase and you can track your purchase from the My Account page.

Refunds

Certain items, such as the goods purchased at Groupon, will come with a promise of a refund in specific cases. The returned items will come with a full refund in case: they were delivered broken or faulty, you didn’t receive what you ordered, or if you cancelled the order in time. Contact the customer service if any of the above cases applies to your order and they will help you through the process.

Reward Programs

Groupon runs a great reward program, which gives you extra credit to spend on the site whenever you refer someone to the service. You can earn $10 credit to spend on purchases on the site for each friend that you refer. Remember that your friend must follow a referral link you send him or her, and she or he must make a purchase within 72 hours of receiving the link in order for you to earn the credit.

Affiliate Program

Furthermore, if you have a website with plenty of readers, you should consider joining the Groupon Affiliate Program. The program offers you up to 15% in commission payments and it provides you with all the tools you need to ensure your readers, followers and friends can benefit from the offers.
